A Person That Feels...

Do I get asked to be woken up?
I think the early bird, has had enough,
If it's too early, I will be a grump,
I'm so happy that, this is understood,
Please, handle me with care,
I know long days, doesn't seem fair,
But, my day starts with you,
Your loving nature,
Your caring patience,
Your happy smile,
Your generous time,
So when you help me get dressed,
Please, don't treat my dignity any less,
I too,
Wake up like you,
I too,
Have a family like you,
I too,
Love and laugh like you,
When you assist me with my breakfast,
I might be slow, as I get a little breathless,
Please listen and understand my needs,
I know that I'm old, but I'm a person that still feels,
Give me time, to answer your questions,
I know, I'm confused, I'm not pretending,
Don't assume what I needed yesterday, I also need today,
I have a choice, the same as you, I too can have a change,
When it's dinner time and you help me to my seat,
Take your time, the older I get, the more I am weak,
But please remember, I know that I'm old but I still feel,
I got diagnosed as being diabetic, I know I shouldn't, but I always sneak a pudding,
When I get angry and forget things, from one day to the next,
Please remind me when I ask, I don't mean to be a pest,
After tea when it's time to relax, I'm so grateful for your excellent care,
For all you give, I must say thanks, in my time of need I'm so glad you're there,
As my head lay on the pillow, tomorrow is another day,
I see you walking home past my window, tomorrow I'll see your face,
My day starts with you,
Your loving nature,
Your caring patience,
Your happy smile,
Your generous time,
So when I wake from my memory of dreams,
Please remember, I know I'm old, but I still feel,
I still feel...
